DOGE is the biggest “great idea, awful execution” effort we may have ever seen.
Amateur emails to millions of employees from 20-year-olds… riddled with conflicts of interest… critical nuclear experts mistakenly lumped into the cuts… and on and on.
Clumsy and incompetent.

How did a simple painting transform into the world's most recognized depiction of Jesus?
Your Own Personal Jesus
The most popular image of Jesus Christ in the world—a white man with blue eyes, wavy brown hair, and a soft, peaceful gaze—comes from Head of Christ, a 1940 painting by Chicago artist Warner Sallman. It’s been reproduced over a billion times, shaping how millions imagine Jesus. Sallman started as a commercial illustrator, sketching ads for pianos and trucks before volunteering as art director for The Covenant Companion, a Christian youth magazine.

Every review of AI is like: This isn’t very useful and it makes it harder to do simple tasks than if I just did it myself. Riddled with errors. Can’t see anyone using this. I feel stupider having tried this. That said I believe it will soon make human cognition redundant and eradicate us all.

A deadly desert crossing. A pastor’s radical stand. The sanctuary movement reshaped faith, resistance, and immigration in America. Listen now.
Sanctuary
In July 1980, a group of Salvadoran migrants crossed the border between Mexico and Arizona. They walked over a remote mountain range and halfway across a wide desert valley in the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. There were more than two dozen of them—people who had left behind lives and jobs to come to the United States. Note: This episode originally aired as two episodes in 2017.

I've heard many DOGE proposals but I've yet to hear one that makes anything the government does more efficient
